Review for Stickney Toy Breed Rescue, Cortland, NE, USA
I met Mary Stickney on line several years ago and really fell for her ethics, her compassion, her straight forwardness and her honesty. She has pretty much single handed started this rescue from her heart and her limited resources. She has made very sure her home, her yard and her talents all are for the best of all things for the rescues that come in for her. Basically Mary takes the ones that are damaged as in shyness, distrust, seniors that were turned or dropped somewhere and little ones that are sometimes disabled. And no dog is ever sent away to make room for one that may be more adoptable. If there is any dog that cannot be adopted for a particular reason, it lives a wonderful life with Mary and is given all the love and caring it needs.
Mary's rescue is not spread all over with lines of fosters wanting to help. Actually I find her to be a role model for what a true rescue is all about. She makes sure a serious back ground check is made before any canine is released to that person for adoption plus, if something doesn't work out, her contract states the dog comes back to her and no where or to no one else. I prefer to donate my limited resources to her rescue mainly because it's such personal rescue and I know that every dime goes right to the health and welfare of her charges. Actually she is extremely close to reaching 1000 adoptions before the end of this year. Personally I feel she should be applauded for her care and consideration and her compassion for of these little ones.
More Feedback
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
try to find better ways to raise funds and/or donations of food and vet fees to make very sure that every single need for this rescue is met. I would like to see more people pulling together for the small rescues as opposed to the larger and more well known, but not always very ethical rescues.
